Congratulations to Paso Robles wine country’s Randy Heinzen, president of Vineyard Professional Services, Inc. and PRWCA board member, on being named California Association of Winegrape Growers Leader of the Year!

🍇 It's that time of year! Winegrape growers across the state have kicked off their harvest season! 🚜 Did you know? Nearly 4.5 million farm vehicles are in action across U.S. farmlands, according to the Census of Agriculture. With the hustle and bustle in full swing, let's all slow down and stay safe when driving through agricultural areas. 🙏 A big shoutout to our growers, farm workers, and ag partners for their hard work this busy harvest season. #brakeforharvest Visit brakeforharvest.com to learn more about the #BrakeForHarvest campaign.

The Paso Robles wine community recently lost two industry pioneers and all-around amazing humans. JoAnn Cherry (1966-2024) Owner and Co-Founder of the MAHA estate, Villa Creek Cellars “Sometimes we meet a person along our busy ways that stops us in our tracks, and we realize that this one is different, this one is exceptional, this one is gifted in ways that most of us cannot even begin to understand,” said her friend, local artist Tova Celine. John “Munchie” Munch (1944-2024) Owner, Founder, Le Cuvier Winery “As we well know, the wine industry is littered with unique, interesting, and talented people,” said winemaker Neil Collins. “Yet even amongst these, John Munch stood out as special. R.H. Drexel shared a touching tribute to both on Jeb Dunnuck's website - "There will never be another JoAnn Cherry, and there will never be another John Munch. Both artists and ardent lovers of nature, they were strong-minded originals who squeezed every bit they could out of this life. May their dynamic, full lives be an example to the rest of us."

In episode 108 of Where Wine Takes You, Adam Montiel dives into a conversation with Brett Urness of Levo Wine and Jacob Toft of Jacob Toft. Both vintners share insights from their Tin City-based operations, blending local terroir with innovative winemaking techniques.
